I don't subscribe, not because the figure was poor (liked the look of it a lot actually) but because of the terrible job TFCC has been reported to do with international customers, and their track record in being able to run their business.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Tankor is somewhat disappointing, the best way to describe the figure, is likes the body is accurate to the CG model, however it has gangly arms, and wide hips, apposed to the show model's narrow hips, legs, and long but bulky arms. The oddest part is the grey paint, on the head anyway, looks pasty like the grey paint on BiS hot rod.

My favorite is crosscut with the silver and Candy apple red combo. Honestly it looks really nice, hopefully they keep it somewhat metallic, I will buy it :grin:

Crosscut looks great. I was really impressed by Skids and I love G1 characters who aren't from 1984-86 so kudos.

Rattrap looks excellent too. The rat looks pretty screen-accurate, his robo-mode is just dandy. No complaints.

Tankor...looks like a robot that looks like a tank that turns into a tank that looks like a robot lying down. It's a screen-accurate figure of a horrible, horrible design.

Wow. Crosscut is the best of the three. Rattrap looks okay, but man... Tankor is just useless looking. Shelf warmer material for sure.

Do you think Crosscut will be silver or gray? We've seen figures that looked metallic in official preview pics but ended up flat/matte. If he's silver, it sounds cool.

Based on the image, the silver looks sorta like the silver seen on the packaging of Universe (2008) Bluestreak.

Which ended up looking like this:

So I'm positive that Crosscut will sport the nice looking silver on the image.

Thank you!

To sum it all up:
Rattrap- Amazing, obviously
Tankor- Rather nice, though the cannon is a bit off
Crosscut- Is that metallic red? Yes Please!

The pics were all over Weibo as soon as the mag came out, too :P

I'm loving that Rattrap. Crosscut is nice, but the character means nothing to me. Tankor looks like an old toy design (and one I don't like), also I never watched Beast Machines so...

Nice!!! Thank you!!

Crosscut reminds me a lot of Camshaft one of the onmibots from G1.
Rattrap is BOSS!
Tankor is an easy pass for me.
Not a sheeple.

I don't suppose Crosscut comes with Clutch, but that would have been cool. I also wish the Autobot logo on his hood was much bigger.

Tankor almost seems like a leftover from the Animated line, but I like him. He's got a very 'toony look. He looks fun.

Oh, and Rattrap's alt mode is awesome.

Sweet!

Rattrap - Awesome!!! :DANCE:
Tankor - Awesome!!! :DANCE:
Crosscut - Skids is mediocre, so I expected him to be mediocre as well. I was right. Nothing impressing here.

Thought maybe this would be another wave I'd be buying in full. Oh well.

Rattrap looks spectacular to me. I honestly can't see why people are complaining about his beast mode. It maybe leans a little towards a mouse, but it ain't Mickey that's for sure.

Crosscut also looks pretty nice. That mould seems to work in those colours and the new head looks good.

Tankor I am less thrilled with. The robot mode has an awesome design (even if it will be inevitably too small), but the tank mode is so uninspiring. It's just a slab of plastic with a pathetic little gun on the back. It might be a good troop builder, but I can't see me being bothered enough to try.

I am a subscriber, but haven't received the new issue yet. I did find the pics posted in some Spanish website today just searching on Google. I wish you could log in with your subscriber log in to see the magazine vs having to wait for your mail man to put it in your box.

Rat Trap's rat mode looks phenomenal.

Tankor looks like a toy. Very bright and plasticy.

Cross Cut looks pretty dang nice. The head sculpt looks better than Skids' big nosed face.
